#bird phobia

[camillomea]

gift for weak Robin's summary of what bird phobia is and how it occurs XD:

When Bruce finished feeding Tim he said "you heard it yesterday." It wasn't a question but a statement. But Tim still answered "yes I heard it." Bruce sighed. After Tim pulled himself together a bit he said "I'm going to stay with Miss Ivy and Miss Harley. I don't want to deal with this while I'm in this state. I need some time away. Besides, being there will help my health." Bruce sighed but he cared more about his son's physical and mental health than where he slept. And he knew Tim would be safe there. "At least 2 more days of rest. I'll take you there afterwards," he said. Tim let out a quiet hum of approval. Bruce smiled. He was relieved. Then Bruce looked at the bird and said, "Please take care of him" The bird was looking at him expressionlessly. But Bruce knew that the bird understood him very well and would always protect Tim. The bird wasn't always here, but whenever Tim had a seizure, it somehow knew and would be there within a few hours at most. He had heard that there had been a fire in the Joker's cell in Arkham a few times, and that he had been attacked by dozens of birds outside of Arkham a few times. Oh, he knew exactly what the reason was. Because the same thing had happened to him. The damn bird was someone you should never mess with.

Little ornithophobia things

Idk why I'm posting this but I'm pretty ornithophobic and after my dream last night I realised that all my nightmares for the last three or four years have been related to birds: -one nightmare where I was lying in my bed and it was covered in dead birds -one where a bird flew in through my window and left me terrified (in the dream) to go to sleep in case there was another one -one where I had to hold a dead bird. It was on the ground and this person kept screaming at me to pick it up I don't even know why I'm so terrified of birds. A pigeon pecked me when I was tiny but I just thought it was funny so I don't think it was related. I feel sick when I see dead birds and I panic when I see loads of feathers piled up somewhere in case there's a badly mauled one somewhere. I've had two actual legit panic attacks in my life and one happened at a bird of prey sanctus I visited because I just couldn't deal with it. On a day-to-day level, I get nervous eating outside unless I'm with friends because I'm so scared a bird will come over. Every time I see a bird that looks old or sick I get scared it'll drop dead because I hate dead birds even more than living ones. I hate the unfolding of wings. I hate feathers. I hate birds flying over me and I'm too scared to open my windows fully in case a bird gets into my room. I hate them and I'm scared of them and I don't even know why. Idk why I just spilled out there, but Tumblr just seems like a good place to talk about troubling stuff. I had a bird nightmare last night (the third one on the list) and they always stick in my mind for a few days

I am absolutely petrified of birds, and while I was hanging out with my friends we saw a man with a bird that you could pet. I thought "Wouldn't it be hilarious if I pet that bird?" so I did, and then my friends volunteered me for a demonstration, and I was like "Oh no! I can't back out now. Go big or go home" So I let this guy put birds on my arm and head and the parrot kissed my cheek. My friends were shocked. I literally faced my biggest fear for a joke.

lmao why u afraid of birds dude?

Okay let Aunty Morgan tell you a little story honey,

See, one day when Aunty Morgan was a wee child, around the age 4 or 5, her father decided that it would be a good idea to take her dove hunting with him. Aunty Morgan’s mother expressed concern but little Morgan was insistent that she would go with daddy because whatever he’s doing is probably cooler than being forced to walk with a book on your head or learning about etiquette. So, little Morgan was suited up in some ill-fitting camo and taken to the hunting site. Her father then began the hunt. Now, little Morgan was very much an animal lover, so when she saw the little birdies fall to the ground she wanted to go get them. When she did, she would pet them, lay them on the ground, give them names, and whisper to them (because you can’t be too loud when your daddy is hunting and birdies are sleeping!). Now, what little Morgan didn’t understand fully was that these birds were not sleeping like her daddy told her but instead were dead(How I didn’t question that, idk). She believed that she was simply very good at being very quiet and loving. Well, her father shot one, and unfortunately for all involved it was not in a way that the bird was killed, simply badly injured and stunned. So, when little Morgan ran to pick that birdy up and bring it back to her little birdy camp, it immediately came to and began to violently peck and claw at little baby Morgan and it left her very, very traumatized. Thus, honey, Aunty Morgan is very afraid of birds but only the ones that have the beady black eyes. Birds of prey do not frighten me because I feel like they are smart enough to keep their distance like me. Idk, it’s literally a phobia and this is like the earliest memory I have in my life. 

To be fair, I was my parents’ first kid, so they had no idea what the eff they were doing.
